Just doing a drive by to let you know that I'm still around and still shooting my Savages
I went out early this morning on a friend's ranch and set up on one of my favorite places. I put my FoxPro at the bottom of a dry wash in a clump of sagebrush and set up on a side hill over looking the usual approach area about 70 yards away. I was sitting behind a big sagebrush clump with my Savage Model 11, (heavily modified with a Choate stock, PacNor barrel and SSS trigger, bolt handle, etc.) in 22.250 using a set of Stoney Point shooting sticks to elevate me over the brush.
I started the jack rabbit distress call and after about 10 minutes saw a nice coyote come over the ridge across the valley. He worked down the side hill and stopped about 75 yards above my caller for an easy 150 yard shot.
The nice thing about the heavy barreled 22.250 with the 50 grain Varmint Grenades is that I can see the impact and he was dead right there.
